VP Rafowicz (Vice-President of the CULT Commission) emphasizes the essential role of the audiovisual sector as driver of democracy, creativity, and cultural diversity in Europe and the importance of a regulation to support an open and ambitious cultural policy, as well as the strength of an ecosystem driven by independent businesses and flexible, competitive SMEs.
